On Monday, March 12th, at 6pm in the Rosenthal Lecture Room at the Foundation’s offices, the film Yo Soy Cuba (1964) will be presented in conjunction with Michael Dweck’s lecture on Habana Libre which is set for March 14th.

A documentary of early 1960s Cuba and its culture, Yo Soy Cuba (1964) was long held back from American audiences until Martin Scorsese began a campaign to restore the film in the early 1990s. Originally intended as a piece of communist propaganda, it was banned by the USSR and Cuba for its too loving view of the bourgeois pre-Fidel classes and Havana high-life, best exhibited in the film’s narration of “I am Cuba, the Cuba of the casinos and the people.”

"In today’s materialistic world there is a risk of people becoming slaves to money, as though they were simply cogs in a huge money-making machine. This does nothing for human dignity, freedom, and genuine well-being. Wealth should serve humanity, and not the other way around."
